Below are a number of really useful organisations and that can help and support you to keep your family safe online.
E-SAFETY
Students have the privilege of using computers to support their learning. They also have access to computers after school in The Wilson Centre until 4.30pm.
Each time our students log on they agree to the school ‘Acceptable use Policy' which requires them to act responsibly when using the network and the Internet.
Students are expected to be responsible users of the Internet.
